When
you create the initial MetaLink agreement between the
MeetingPlace
server and the MeetingPlace Directory Services,
you
use the meetingplace.cfg file, which has most of the
parameters
needed to enable this agreement already mapped for
you.
Since this agreement requires little modification, you should
use
the MeetingPlace Directory Services Admin Tool to
configure
the agreement. This agreement should be configured
and
run before creating any additional agreements.
Once
this MetaLink agreement runs and the profiles are imported
into
MeetingPlace Directory Services, you must create an
agreement
between the MeetingPlace Directory Services server
and
your corporate directory server.
If
your coporate directory server has less than 50,000 entries, you
should
use the MeetingPlace Directory Services Admin Tool. If
your
corporate directory server has more than 50,000 entries, you
should
modify the configuaration file manually to configure the
MetaLink
agreement.
Currently,
MeetingPlace Directory Services provides default
configuration
files for both Netscape LDAP and Microsoft Active
Directory
servers. These default configuration files provide some
sample
parameters to create the agreement between MeetingPlace
Directory
Services and your corporate directory server. You
should
examine your business rules to determine which attributes
and
rules will work best to enable this agreement. If you need
assistance,
contact your MeetingPlace Support representative.
Table
5-1 lists the default configuration files used to create the
MetaLink
agreement between the MeetingPlace Directory
Services
server and your corporate directory server. The default
configuration
files can be found in X:\Program
Files\Latitude\MeetingPlace
Directory Services
Gateway\DSG
Admin, where X: refers to the drive where the
MeetingPlace
Directory Services software was installed (this
assumes
you accepted all the default values during installation).
